Duke coaches and fans knew this was a big recruiting weekend for the Blue Devils' football program, as the school was set to host more than twenty recruits. Some were already committed, while some are still making their decisions. At least one young man made that decision while he was on his visit.

Cooper Helfet, a 6-foot-4, 235-pound tight end from Santa Rosa Junior College in California committed to Duke over the weekend, as he confirmed in an interview with Devils Illustrated.
